Jay,

I believe that is the same Cyrenius C. Bristol.

Sarsaparilla was very popular in the 19th Century. It has expectorant, and laxative qualities, and was supposedly a remedy for "social" diseases.

Is that a yellow pickle jar in the background? I'd like to see a pic of it if it is.

nice, excellent digging! Looks like the site has some real good age to it... I have a friend Mark down your way who would love to dig with ya...

You are right about that!
I would drive all the way to Key West to dig some goodies!

Those local drugstores are great finds. As are most of the others.

Ok so here's the yellow pickle, the only yellow I have found So far.
I wish I could get you guys out there with us dummies, we are amatures at best. However the material is stockpilled on property owned by the company I work for and has been classified as contaminated. It will all be hauled off for proper disposal very soon that's why we dig whenever we can. I have been digging like a crazy man since it got there. I went tonight for two hours and I got two more inks two nice jars and one small medicine I think anyways. I also found a blob top of some kind.
